In case anyone is wondering if Watson was really THAT bad, @lpachter.bsky.social compiled a list of quotes that are absolutely not for the faint of heart. liorpachter.wordpress.com/2018/05/18/j...

In 1956, Jim Watson told my father, a brown man, that he would never get a job at Harvard and it was a miracle he had been admitted . Harvard's Board of Trustees saw it differently & appointed dad as an Assistant Professor and Director of the Harvard Agassiz Observatory BEFORE he finished his Ph.D!
